Recall - BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series

BMW has issued a recall of 198,000 2002-2010 V8- and V12-powered BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars due to a leak in the power braking system.

The leak could lead to a vacuum loss and reduction of power braking assistance. However, BMW notes that mechanical braking still works to slow and stop the vehicle. No injuries have been reported.

The recall affects 2002-2008 BMW 745i/Li, 750i/Li, and 760i/Li; 2007-08 BMW Alpina B7; 2004-10 BMW 645i and 650i; 2004-10 BMW 545i and 550i and 2003-2010 Rolls Royce Phantom models.
